Alabama Sex Shop Opens Drive-Through

Happy Meal? Alabama Sex Shop Opens Drive-Through

Alabama is the only state in the nation to still have a sex toy ban on the books, but now Pleasures, the one-stop romance shop, is challenging the law. Turns out, there's a loophole: Alabama law makes an exception on the sale of items designed for the "stimulation of human genital organs" for "a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial, or law enforcement purpose."

Law enforcement purposes?!? Anyway, I'm not here to parse archaic sex laws or insinuate sex toys are used for torture (except, I can't think of anything else?). Instead, let's talk about how entirely retrograde it is to buy a sex toy like it's medical marijuana. Customers must fill out a health questionnaire describing why their physical condition requires a Doc Johnson i-Vibe Rabbit Vibrator.

I'm guessing the drive-through might just be a novelty, because Pleasures is located in a former bank. Yet it's there for those who want privacy but can't wait two days for express delivery. On that note, does anyone know if sex toys can be legally shipped to Alabama? You can log out and tell us in our anonymous, drive-through comments.

Only down South should there be a ban on something as fun as Sex Toys! They can carry riffles around on the rack in the cab of their 1950 Ford pick-up, but can't by a bullet for sexual gratification?!? I think that what a person legally buys with their own money is no one's business. Filling out forms is a little extreme! Why should anyone have any record that you purchased something that would be used in the privacy of your own home? Doesn't this cross an invasion of privacy code somewhere????

this is hilarious that business found a loophole but sad that there is such a ban on something personal like sex toys. Let me deal out justice with an 18 in dildo. lol.

lol, I actually live in Huntsville, AL where this is opening at. It was all the buzz yesterday around my office. I've been to Pleasures before and I don't recall having to fill out paperwork on why I needed any product. They did have you sign a form that you understood that all the items they sell are for educational purposes only :)
